Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 1744: The Entourage

Charlotte pouted. “I said no such thing. There was no way you could have moved such a large amount of
money in a day. Before you made that bet, you must have already begun the process of transferring. You
knew that Danrique is too proud to accept help even when he needs it, which is why you’d found a way
to sneak me in as a shareholder and use Nacht Group’s funds to save Lindberg Corporation. Did I get
that right?” she asked as she twisted his ear.

Taking no notice of the pain, Zachary merely smiled as he helped her remove her coat.

“I’m asking you a question!” she pressed on indignantly.

“To the shower!” Zachary declared after giving her cheek a kiss.

Charlotte’s next question was stifled by Zachary’s lips upon hers.

Hot like a flame enveloping her, they rendered breathing and squirming impossible. The only thing left for
her to do was to meekly accept the domineering display of passion.

Though Zachary was unwilling to discuss it, Charlotte understood the pains he had gone through for her.
Though it looked as though he did it to set Danrique and Francesca up, he had also managed to put
them in a position to help Lindberg Corporation.

Best of all, it did not embarrass Danrique and it did not make me feel obligated. We basically managed to
do what we always wanted to with the aid of a corporate shroud. Not only did Zachary go through all the
time and trouble, not to mention considerable resources to put this together, but he also had to endure
my vicious tongue!

Zachary had matured a lot from the barrage of incidents raining misfortune down upon him and his
family. Instead of displaying dominance and insistence for things to be done his way, he grew to learn
more subtle solutions and began to view business as an art of warfare. As an indirect result, his temper
had also grown more mellow. It was a pleasant change for Charlotte and the children because adopting



this temperament was a paradigm shift in the dynamics of their family as it anchored them with stability
that was never there before.

With the abundance of loving support behind her, Charlotte felt as if she was filled with the confidence to
be able to take on anything.

After a night of frolicking, the sunlight had already shone through the window by the time Charlotte woke
up to an empty room. Instinctively, she rose and walked to the windowsill. Throwing open the curtains,
she watched Zachary and the children playing together in the garden.

Robbie, Jamie, and Ellie hid behind their father as he stood with his arms spread to face the mock wrath
of Fifi.

Spurred on by the children’s screams, Fifi spread its wings and dived excitedly.

The children remained as safe as they could be behind his broad back. Fifi could not even peck at the
children no matter how hard it tried.

Not only were the children not afraid, but they were also hardly able to stand upright from laughing too
hard.

The mid-morning sun shone down upon them and immortalized the memory in a warm sepia glow into
Charlotte’s consciousness.

Her lips parted in a sigh of contentment, the sunniness of the day reflected in her mood. She watched
the children, still as a statue, until Lupine’s voice roused her out of her reverie. “Everything has been
prepared, Ms. Lindberg.”

“Thank you. We’ll leave in half an hour.”

That’s right. I’m going back to Erihal today.



Charlotte went downstairs after getting dressed. Coincidentally, Zachary was leading the children back in
to wash up for breakfast at the same time. “Mommy! Mommy!” the children squealed as they flocked
around her. “Daddy told us you’re returning to Erihal! Is that true?”

“Yes, my dears. I have some business to attend to. It’ll only be a few days!” Charlotte squatted down to
give each child a kiss and a hug. “Listen to your father while I’m gone, will you?”

“Yes, Mommy,” the children chorused.

“Have some breakfast before you leave.” Zachary glanced at his watch. “You still have time.”

“I don’t think I will. I’ll just grab a quick bite at the airport.” Charlotte saved her last hug for him. “I’m
leaving the house to you, Hubby. Try not to burn it down while I’m gone!”

“I won’t, Wifey. The house and the kids are in safe hands.” Zachary pecked her on the forehead before
turning to address somebody behind Charlotte. “Take good care of my wife!”

“Yes, Sir!”

She whipped around at the volume of the response and was shocked to find an entourage of around
twenty people sharing her flight. Aside from two lawyers, two accountants, two high-ranking executives
of Nacht Group, and a team of bodyguards, there seemed to be at least one representative from every
conceivable department.

Charlotte groaned. “Is there really a need for such a spectacle?”
